This Sunday,Plunket will celebrate its 110th year supporting Kiwi kids and whānau.

Plunket President Andrée Talbot says Plunket’s birthday celebrations are a great opportunity to thank Plunket’s nurses, clinical and community staff and volunteers, whose hard work and energy has sustained the organisation for over a century.

“Plunket is made strong by people in every community around the country who care deeply about the health and wellbeing of New Zealand’s children.

“In 2017, Plunket is in the privileged position of seeing over 90% of all babies born in New Zealand. We look forward to being here, supporting future generations of New Zealand families in another 110 years,” Andrée Talbot said.
